5/10
Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla and Mogera better than the ratings indicate
29 April 2010
Godzilla DNA makes it into space and creates Big G's next adversary, Space Godzilla. Space G is very cool looking if you can accept the big crystals sticking out of his shoulders. The music score was rather strange and seemed lacking at times. It's 'The Love Boat' crossed with up-tempo canned 80's synthesizer driven cable local access music. The fleeing mob scenes are poorly done(American dubbed version only?), as it sounds like two people recorded multiple times. The male voice being Star Trek's George Takei(aka Sulu). The lighting appears brighter giving the suits an unflattering shiny appearance. One of my favorite Godzilla suits was used in this film, although his lower half is bloated and he appears a bit stiff. Some great camera shots of Big G deliberately smashing buildings with his hands, and lots of explosions as he stomps on things. A bonus for Toho fans of The Mysterians, is the return of Moguera! Even though the robot cannot compete with Mech-G, it was a nostalgic pleasant surprise to see him. Probably the low point for Heisei era kaiju, but if you can get over the cheesy music, you can still enjoy this monster mash. Just for fun see if you can spot who I call the Japanese Shemp.
